The KOF End of Year Party was an event held in 2004 to celebrate the series' 10th anniversary. There was a panel featuring series voice actors, and a tournament with a gold Neo Geo pad as a prize. Artist Falcoon would also make the fateful announcement of there being no KOF2004.

one of my favorite Ash things is how absolutely down bad Falcoon is for him I mean

he literally does not draw ANY of the other KOF guys like this and none of the other artists give Ash quite as much of an hourglass figure
